User reviews

I love this extension. I work in a library and it is so helpful for collection development as I can see what the libraries around me have. I recommended it to everyone I train

Carly McGrath, 2025-01-21

Amazing extension! It lets me know whether a book I’m looking for is available at local libraries. This has saved me A LOT of money. The developer is extremely responsive and added a library system not previously listed in under 2 days.

I've used this extension for several years and find it extremely convenient when investigating a "new-to-me" book and deciding whether I want to make the investment to purchase and add the book to my own collection or not. Fortunately I have three outstanding public libraries within five miles of my house, so taking a quick trip to whichever might have the book I'm looking for and skimming through it for a few pages then allows me to essentially try before I buy. I think the best part of this extension is it connects with all types of readers. Whether you enjoy maintaining your own personal library of whatever size in your house, read regularly but only want to keep certain books for your shelves, or don't necessarily have the space or resources to keep your own library so you only borrow books from your local public library, this has got you covered! Give it a try and I'm sure you will find it a great resource in your continued reading adventures for many years to come. Enjoy!
